| Abstract | Microdata is collected by companies in order to enhance their quality of service as well as the accuracy of their recommendation systems. These data often become publicly available after they have been sanitized. Recent reidentification attacks on publicly available, sanitized datasets illustrate the privacy risks involved in microdata collections. Currently, users have to trust the provider that their data will be safe in case data is published or if a privacy breach occurs. In this work, we empower users by developing a novel, user-centric tool for privacy measurement and a new lightweight privacy metric. The goal of our tool is to estimate users' privacy level prior to sharing their data with a provider. Hence, users can consciously decide whether to contribute their data. Our tool estimates an individuals' privacy level based on published popularity statistics regarding the items in the provider's database, and the users' microdata. In this work, we describe the architecture of our tool as well as a novel privacy metric, which is necessary for our setting where we do not have access to the provider's database. Our tool is user friendly, relying on smart visual results that raise privacy awareness. We evaluate our tool using three real world datasets, collected from major providers. We demonstrate strong correlations between the average anonymity set per user and the privacy score obtained by our metric. Our results illustrate that our tool which uses minimal information from the provider, estimates users' privacy levels comparably well, as if it had access to the actual database. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
